Post-operative spinal epidural hematoma is a rare complication of spinal surgery. Early detection and reoperation are crucial for full patient recovery, highlighting the need for vigilant post-operative monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Hematology

Context:

  • Post-operative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is an uncommon complication following spinal surgery.
  • This study analyzes 14 cases from 7950 posterior spinal surgeries, comparing them with existing literature.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the incidence, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of post-operative SEH.
  • To emphasize the importance of early detection and surgical intervention for optimal patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • The study identified 14 cases of post-operative SEH, with symptom onset typically within 5 hours after surgery.
  • Characteristic symptoms include localized pain, paresthesia, radicular pain, and bilateral neurological deficits.
  • Rapid diagnosis, particularly in cervical and thoracic cases, and prompt reoperation (13/14 patients) led to full recovery, with delays resulting in prolonged convalescence.

Impact:

  • Early recognition and surgical management of post-operative SEH are critical for achieving complete patient recovery.
  • Vigilant monitoring of patients within the first six hours post-spinal surgery is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention.
  • This research underscores the significance of prompt surgical decompression in managing this rare but serious complication.
